I'd make those trades in a heartbeat, select Copper, and laugh my way to the funny farm because it would then allow us to move back into the 2nd or 3rd round for additional players with those newly acquired picks.

And Short played at Purdue, not Notre Dame._________________Co-Founder: DCRA - No McQuistan, No Super Bowl

Damnit. Did this at 1:30 last night (this morning) and mustve been looking at the top tight ends when I jotted down Notre Dame for Short. Ill fix it. I agree it would give us all kinds of flexability to move up and steal fallers. With that said, Jerry will probably take a punter in the first and trade away the rest of the picks to get Alan Ball back. _________________I am a monkey fan.

If we could pull this off I would do it in a heartbeat. Take Cooper as Plan said, and hopefully nail all those other picks.

I am hoping the guards fall as DeCastro did last year although something tells me Warmack will be gone for sure (Mayock declared him the best football player he's seen on film in this years draft). Cooper is going to rise as well given his athleticism.

For me this year is about staying put or trading down. We have many needs. It's not the year to make a big splash and give up picks to move up._________________Northland

Any scenario where we could trade back in the 1st round and aquire, at the very least, a 2nd or 3rd round pick is a good idea. There is enough depth at the positions of need for us to get some really talented players late in the 1st and 2 in the second and possibly 2 in the 3rd.

I would be super amped if we managed the trading back that you proposed. Here's to your idea

You sir, are crazy. None of the Safeties in this class pose as much value as that trade. We'd get multiple long-term starters in multiple spots rather than focusing on one overrated Safety prospect._________________Co-Founder: DCRA - No McQuistan, No Super Bowl

Yeah, I gotta agree with Plan on this one. Vaccaro isn't worth as much as those trades would be. If you were going to stay put, Cooper would be the better choice. Trading down and still getting Cooper would be even better.

Honestly, I'd rather wait until the 3rd round and take Swearinger than take Vaccaro in the 1st._________________

First, it won't take that much for teams to move up 2 or 3 spots. Remmber the Boys only gave up a 2nd-round pick to move from 14 to 6 last year. At most, it will take a 3rd-round pick for team to go from 21 to 18.

That said, if those deals were on the table, you definitely make the trades since a lot players in the 15 to 30 range are quite comparable and the Boys have plenty of needs._________________

This is the key mindset to have in this draft. Of course a lot of teams will be thinking this way and looking to move down._________________Northland

TSSS, the trade compensation we got in return were 4th, 5th, and 6th round picks, so he was following the trade value chart pretty closely. The way ninja's trade scenario ended up, we had this:
